Aptonoth✭✭✭✭✭After seeing Solitude, supposedly, as a main city of the chapter, i start to think that there will be two years of Skyrim in a raw.- Solitude, Reach, vampires - this year
- Winterhold, Whiterun, maybe spellcrafting as big feature at 10th anniversary of TES: Skyrim - next year
Lol nope. Eso team says they like to switch up locations and nit keep it too same. Ie keep it fresh. Next year is most likely black Marsh to get its big chapter.1 -
FabresFour✭✭✭✭✭This screenshot is definitely NOT from Skyrim.
Look at the tree models, the texture of the walls, the Blue Palace model itself!
These trees are ESO trees, the texture color palette is the same as ESO's.

From one side it will be really lame to launch two years of Skyrim in a row, from other side it will be missed opportunity to not make Winterhold playable and use it to introduce spellcrafting, magic schools or onehand + rune. And if they plan to make something of mentioned above playable, then it must be core/selling feature of the chapter. And this Solitude screenshot confuse me very much.2 -

How is it milking nostalgia when the quests etc will be completely different? It's literally just the northern province of Tamriel. There won't be dragons. There won't be Greybeards. Lydia doesn't exist.

The 10th anniversary thing isn’t happening jeez let that ides die it’s over lol. It’s too late as Skyrim 10th anniversary hype. Never have they repeated years of content before. So this only leaves black marsh, cyrodil, and hammerfell. It’s too soon to have another desert focused year in 2021 so only black marsh and cyrodil for candidates. Cyrodil has lots in the game and it’s too similar to Skyrim for me to think it’s coming next.1 -

Can’t wait for that to die in a fire too lol. It’s too soon for cyrodil. Everyone’s favourite area’s are unfortunately in pvp land.
If we get cyrodil next it has lots of the swampy areas left so that means no black marsh for two years. Then after that hammerfell. That would be 3 years of human land. I don’t see them doing Skyrim > cyrodil > hammerfell > Black Marsh. 1 -

Don't understood why 10th anniversary isn't happening and it's too late for 10th anniversary hype? Maybe too earlier? It will be in next year.
And ZOS never released full year story at same location before "The year of the dragon", so it's a weak argument.
And if they release other zone i agree with posters above that it would be Cyrodiil, because of 15th anniversary.
I don't think is a good idea too. But the only thing that made me think of it is a screenshot of Solitude. And as i mentioned above i think Winterhold must be the central or at least one of the major parts of Skyrim chapter. So if there will be no Winterhold it will be two years of Skyrim or it will be year of missed opportunities, in my opinion.

True but we need to be honest, Witcher 3 is still one of Steam bestsellers because it is bloody good game. Skyrim is alive and well because 99% players who create content about it, plays it, talk about it etc. do it because of mods. The modding scene kept this game alive for so mamy years.3 -

This doesn’t even make sense , you can look at the map and tell that eventually the game would go back to Skyrim. It was only a matter of time. How long has the game been out now, 6 yrs? It’s hardly pandering.
About 9 years1 -

Would have to be modded, since the base game doesn't have proper LOD for the windmillJust looks like a screenshot from the Skyrim game. I'm not buying it. Will find out later on anyway.
The trees are all low-poly ESO stuff too, and the architecture is different, so definitely not TESV. The view distance looks promising though
There are two good chunks of Morrowind left too! Redoran's west side with the city of Blackreach (if ZOS would be kind enough to add this huge part of Morrowind back on to the map, since they left it out since launchCan’t wait for that to die in a fire too lol. It’s too soon for cyrodil. Everyone’s favourite area’s are unfortunately in pvp land. If we get cyrodil next it has lots of the swampy areas left so that means no black marsh for two years. Then after that hammerfell. That would be 3 years of human land. I don’t see them doing Skyrim > cyrodil > hammerfell > Black Marsh.) and Telvanni's eastern isles. If they don't want to edit their map mistake, then Redoran's small section on ESO's map could be a Q4 update to a Telvanni Q2 expansion.

Why do you insist Winterhold must be involved? I can't recall any previous evidence pointing us in that direction, only the lore connection between that location and spellcrafting (something else that has not been hinted at for this chapter).And as i mentioned above i think Winterhold must be the central or at least one of the major parts of Skyrim chapter.
We will see in 4 hours.
We certainly can't know, today, what next year's theme will be. Likely ZOS doesn't even know that yet.1 -

We've previously seen an ESO screenshot tease of Riverwood, so if we're getting Solitude confirmed too then that makes Whiterun highly likely (between the two). That just leaves Markarth and Winterhold as the other two "big" cities, and I'd guess one of them will be held off for the Q4 update (my guess Winterhold) while the other is conveniently occupied by hostile forces and the setting for a new public dungeon (like Orcrest was in Elsweyr) or trial.
Riverwood tease:

Aptonoth✭✭✭✭✭Of course they are splitting it up, but it won't all be in one continuous 3 year period. Just like BM is so big no way do I expect it to be all done in a single one year go. I imagine ESO will keep going until all the land of the continent is done at the very least. After that I think they will consider moving on to other continents.Edited by Aptonoth on January 16, 2020 6:40PM1

CAB_LifeClass RepresentativeThe people in charge of the art direction for this game (and the artists themselves) are insanely talented. After coming from WoW and a slew of Korean MMORPGs, I first found ESO’s muted tones and realism jarring, but now I can’t enjoy any other aesthetic.

It's 15th Oblivion anniversary in 2021, so no more Skyrim.
Maybe we will get the portions of Cyrodiil that are left during that time. (Area between Gold Coast and PvP zone is one and Nibenay is the other). We don't have much of Tamriel left really. Just the Cyrodiil areas I mentioned, Skyrim, Hammerfell and Black Marsh. Of course we have daedric realms too but I am just talking about Tamriel. We will very likely head back to Skyrim at some point. Unless this chapter/year is massive with content.1 -
